Alaskan Ice Bubbleponics 400W Grow

[Gmoney17FL]

Well I decided to start a new thread for this grow. Im growing Alaskan Ice under 2 CFL's right now. They are doing amazing in my mind. I got my seeds from attitude on Sept 15th took 2 days to germinate in a paper towel in a air tight container and then I put them straight into the bubbleponics system. They sprouted about 2 days after that so became sprouts on like the 19th. These pics are from today. Alaskan Ice is White widow x Haze. 23% THC. Im not sure if these pics are going to work. Also one of my seedlings came up with the seed casing still on it so i took it off and its doing ok except its leaves are crinkled and its taking longer to grow. Well give me some feedback. I just got my 400W HPS but still have to figure out what kind of ventilation I can do to keep it cool. Any suggestions or compliments are much appriciated.

nice im growing alaskan ice right now to one of my seeds come up with the shell still around it i used the papertowel method and it took four days its now day six and this is what i got

Yea dude thats fine. What are you planning on growing in other then that rockwool right there? One of my seeds hasnt even come up yet. It was slow at germinating so its slow coming up but I hope it does eventually. Keep me posted on how yours is doing.

These are some new pics of my grow. Got my 400W up now and the babies are on day 13 from being a seedling. I think they are growing really fast. I had some slight nute burn i think on one of my leaves so when i rinsed out the res I am just gonna leave water in it for a day or 2. Give me any suggestions you might have or compliments are always great to.

looks ok m8
i would set the fan so its level with plants just blowing upwards a bit
also i would lower the light 2 in a day until light is 30 in from canopy of the plants
wot are your ppm+ph
looking good

I am pulling up a chair I plan to grow this same strain in a few weeks! Good luck!

yea looks great how high is your water level right now

 

[growinman]

.........yes, they are looking nice!! Did you start the germed seeds right in the clay pellets or did you use some sort of starter plug?? What nutes are you using?

Keep up the great pics/grow!!

 

[Gmoney17FL]

im using the nutes that came with my bubbleponics system for now. I germed the seeds in a paper towel for 2 days and then they went right into the rockwool. I have 6 Gallons of water in it.

yea looks great how high is your water level right now

Yes , Gmoney---and have you researched water levels for(or do you already know) your set-up? If your in rockwool inside those pellets dont let it saturate........rw holds lots of water.

And they really do look awesome!

 

[Gmoney17FL]

yea i know the system. Actually there are tubes pumping water to the rockwool where they are saturated that whole time. Thats how its supposed to be until the roots get long enough and enough of them. Which their are a few but im still running the pump a little longer just to make sure. Yea im hoping i get a decent amount. Ive only grown once before and that was 1 5ft plant 5 ft wide. I yielded over a 1/2 lb so id like to do a 1/2lb in this set up. Think I can with just these 3 plants and a 400W light?

 

[Gmoney17FL]

Well I started seeing what looks like burn marks to me on some of the fan leaves on one of the plants. The leaves were also curled upward and seemed very dry. I looked up plant problems on here and I think its just cause the light is new and the plants arent used to such a high powered light so I moved it far away from the canopy until they get a little bigger. I also sprayed water in the room to up the humidity. Do you think this is burn? Cause I flushed them yesterday and had just water in the tank and added nutes today but saw the burn before i added the nutes so it isnt nute burn. Give me some input.

 

[KirklandsFinest08]

hey im growing alaskan ice too mine are growing so slow in waterfarms when did you start adding nutes and can i see full pics of plants

 

[Gmoney17FL]

your supposed to start adding nutes after you see 2 inches of roots if your using rockwool or they have to be like 4 inches tall or something like that.

If you got water on the leaves and the light was too close, this can spot burn the leaves. Unfortunately, I learned this one the hard way . The plants are looking good. Keep up the good job.

Yea I actually raised the light because I think just adding that much light shocked them. They were really dry so i spray water on them now and they havent burnt since then. So I think they are getting better.

 

[Gmoney17FL]

I think the leaves were just way to dry and now since I wet them they are doing better.

subscribed thanks for the headsd up cheers

I think if you spray them too much, the water droplets will act like a magnifying glass and burn spots on the leaves. Especially with an HID light.
